Read Easy Waltham Forest is a local group that provides free, confidential, one-to-one reading coaching for adults who want to learn or improve their reading skills. We match local residents with trained volunteer coaches for sessions every week, meeting in safe, convenient places around the borough of Waltham Forest. By teaching adults to read, we do so much more than just improve literacy—we help boost mental health, build daily independence, and transform lives across our community.
We are now looking for our new Team Leader.
The Read Easy Management Team Leader is a vital volunteer position for our local branch of the adult literacy charity Read Easy. The purpose of the charity is to help adults in the area who want to improve their reading skills, and we are currently supporting 15 readers.
Your role is to oversee and support a small team of enthusiastic and friendly volunteers and to manage monthly meetings. The role requires leadership and administrative skills to keep the group running smoothly. Key responsibilities include leading a team of skilled and experienced volunteers and working with them to plan activity and set future goals. You will also occasionally liaise with the Read Easy area co-ordinator for the South East and ensure the group is run in compliance with Read Easy policies.
The time commitment is flexible but would be around 4 to 5 hours per week, plus one monthly management team meeting which is in the evening.
Volunteering with Read Easy is fun and rewarding.

About Our Time
Our Time is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of children growing up with a parent who has a mental illness.
Around 4 million children in the UK are affected, yet there is still no dedicated national support for this group. For over 20 years, Our Time has been making sure these children aren’t overlooked. We work across a child’s whole support network, offering training for professionals, resources for schools, and safe, welcoming spaces for families through our unique KidsTime Workshops.
Our mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational mental ill health by supporting and empowering children to live confident, connected, and emotionally healthy lives. We’re a small team with a big mission, and we’re always looking for passionate people and partners to help us reach more children and families.
About the “I Wish” campaign
Launching in September 2026 and running through to Mental Health Awareness Week 2027, “I Wish” is an ambitious awareness raising campaign. People with lived experience of parental mental illness share, in their own handwriting, in their own words, the one thing they wish an adult had known, asked, or done. The photograph series creates a powerful visual campaign that calls professionals to act and invites everyone to listen.
The campaign aims to:
• Reach new audiences and reduce stigma around parental mental illness
• Drive teachers and education professionals to sign up to Our Time’s training and school support services
• Build a cohort of committed schools across the academic year
• Generate national and education press coverage using compelling human stories backed by statistics
• Engage the wider public, supporters and donors
The role
We are looking for a PR-savvy volunteer to support around media outreach for the I Wish campaign launch. Working closely with Our Time’s Communications Lead, you will help us get this campaign in front of the journalists and editors who can amplify it; from education press to national human interest desks.
This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role. The campaign has a clear press release angle, strong statistics, and compelling human stories ready to go. We need someone to help us pitch them effectively.
What you’ll be doing
Building the media database
• Research and compile a tailored media list covering our priority target outlets: education press (TES, SecEd, Schools Week, Headteacher Update), national titles (Guardian Education, BBC, i paper), parenting media (Mumsnet, Netmums, Mother & Baby), mental health charity sector press, and relevant regional outlets
• Identify the right individual contacts (journalists, editors, and news desks) for each outlet and audience
• Maintain and organise the database so it is clear, up to date, and easy for the team to use going forward
• Access to Cision, Vuelio, or a similar media database is a significant advantage for this part of the role
Preparing pitches
• Working with the Communications Lead, develop tailored pitch angles for different outlets and audiences. For example, a data-led pitch for education press versus a human-interest pitch for national titles or parenting media
• Draft pitch emails and follow-up copy that is concise, compelling, and campaignready
• Help prepare supporting materials including ambassador story profiles and key statistics for journalists
Pitching and follow-up
• Send pitches to target journalists and editors, ahead of the campaign embargo lift (approx. 1–5 September 2026)
• Manage follow-up contact in a timely and professional way
• Track responses and coverage, flagging interest and opportunities to the Communications Lead
• Support any requests for interviews or additional information from media contacts
Who we’re looking for
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
• Experience in PR, journalism, communications, or a related field; agency, in-house, or freelance all welcome
• A good working knowledge of the UK media landscape, particularly education, national, and/or charity sector press
• Strong written communication skills and confidence drafting pitches and press materials
• A systematic, organised approach to building and maintaining media lists
• Access to Cision, Vuelio, or a similar media intelligence tool (desirable but not essential, we can work together on this if not)
• An interest in mental health, children’s wellbeing, education, or the charity sector
• Availability from August 2026, with the ability to commit through to October 2026
You don’t need to have volunteered for a charity before. What matters most is your PR instinct, your ability to craft a pitch, and your willingness to get stuck in.
What you’ll get in return
• The chance to work on a powerful campaign with real social impact
• Hands-on experience working with a small, dedicated charity team
• A named credit and reference on request
• Flexibility to fit the role around your existing commitments
• The knowledge that your work directly helps more children of parents with mental illness feel seen and supported
Time commitment
We’re asking for up to one day per week across August and September 2026, with the possibility of lighter-touch support continuing through to Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2027. That said, we know schedules vary, if you have more or less time available, but are keen to get involved, we'd love to chat. We’re happy to be flexible and work around what’s realistic for you
How to apply
Please get in touch with a brief note about your background and why this role appeals to you. We’d also love to hear if you have access to any media database tools. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We hope to have someone in place by late July / early August 2026.
In your covering letter, please include a brief description about your motivation for applying for this volunteer role and how your experience aligns with it.
Our mission is for every child in the UK, who has a parent with a mental illness, to find the support they need, as early as possible.

An understanding of good governance, including risk, safeguarding and compliance (or a willingness to learn).
The ability to work collaboratively with trustees and our small operational support team, offering encouragement and constructive challenge while supporting the charity’s governance and fundraising role, which enables the specialist delivery work carried out by our partner.
Strategic thinking, with the ability to help shape the charity’s direction and ensure long‑term sustainability.
Reliability, integrity and a calm, steady approach, keeping the charity’s purpose at the centre of decision‑making.
Meets the eligibility requirements to serve as a charity trustee, as set out by the Charity Commission.
